The EU-funded project "Recovery of amelioration network to boost economic growth in rural areas of Volyn region" aims to improve drained agricultural lands in 8 villages in the Volyn region of Ukraine by cleaning and restoring over 85 km of drainage canals. The project held workshops on effective technologies for drained lands and provided lessons in local schools on caring for drainage infrastructure. Experts from the Netherlands and Belarus shared their experience in recovering drainage networks at an international seminar on improving the use of drained lands in the Volyn region.
